FFS is a tool that will allow you to be a more successful angler, but there are many caveats to that statement. I am of the opinion that adding/adopting/utilizing FFS will handicap an angler if done...
Here is my experience with the 125ah Ionic battery:
I am running:
Three (3) Garmin 106sv
One (1) Garmin 126sv
GLS10 w/LVS34
GT56 Transducer
GT8 Transducer
Fished a tournament Saturday....
On lower speeds it definitely takes a bit of intention to ensure you are on the button, because there is no audible noise from the motor - not that my bad ears can hear anyway! And yeah, on 10 you...
That is correct. I did the same - https://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=1246482
Note - you will need to select the correct transducer model (and frequency if you want) on the Garmin MFD....
Lowered to 4-1/8" below pad. Results are 71 MPH at 5750 RPM. Turns out I unknowingly had her at the sweet spot (3-3/4" below pad). Will raise it back and leave it there.
I use the Trailer Valet 5X https://www.trailervalet.com/movers/ with the drill attachment to put my dual axle Phoenix 719 Pro XP in my garage which is 90deg to the driveway. It makes it SO much...
I am curious about this as well, as I am considering upgrading my current 106sv at the bow to the 126sv. The biggest reason for this is to replace the existing 93sv UHD at the bow with an Ultra unit...
Update - 5950 - 6000 RPM @ 3” P2P = 71.5 MPH
RPMs increased, but to no benefit. Am going to lower to 4” P2P considering the aforementioned results and based on the CG shift due to stern weight...
Merc or Yammy? 225? Prop pitch? Speed? RPM? Battery type? Poles?
I raised the motor to 3" P2P yesterday. Will test and post results.
Interesting. Are you running a hydraulic plate or manual? What P2P measurement is the sweet spot?
Also, I went out and remeasured my P2P and I was way off. It sits currently at 3.75”. I guess it...
I am looking for advice for dialing in the 8" set back manual jack plate height on my 2012 Phoenix 719 Pro XP with Yamaha 225 SHO. I am currently running a Yamaha Vmax 25 pitch vented "T1" prop. I...
I have experience with three different Ghost trolling motors, all on different boats, that all made the same sounds as the videos above. My new Ultrex Quest doesn't emit any sounds from the mount. I...
Definitely a good suggestion. I have been on the water for a lot of hours with this setup, which is why I even thought to address this. This past weekend I decided to take a 4’ level with me and a...
I am currently in the process of attempting to find/make and install a wedge on my 2012 Phoenix 719 Pro XP w/45" Ultrex Quest. The shaft is canted towards the stern approximately 3deg when deployed...
Garmin mapping is excellent especially with the new Navionics Vision + map. A lot of folks have made very positive comments after seeing my maps, but Garmin's shallow water mapping could improve IMO
Garmin customer service has always been absolutely fantastic for me. Many phone calls over the years for help requests and have not been disappointed. They stand behind their products too.
Recent points of reference for you:
1. Sold a Lowrance Ghost in great condition a few weeks ago for $2,500
2. Sold a 24v Ultrex that was a couple of years old 4 months ago for $1,600
3. Sold a 24v...
Some additional input to my post above:
I went from a 24v Ultrex to a Lowrance Ghost 36v to the Ultrex Quest @ 36v. The Quest is better on battery life than the 24v Ultrex for sure and slightly...
I run all Garmin graphs (two 106 at console and 93, 106, and LVS34 at bow) and had to navigate this decision recently. I ultimately ended up going with the Ultrex Quest. My decision was based on:
1....
I’m not sure you are using that phrase correctly nor is your comment helpful. Being able to conveniently access something should it require maintenance isn’t “first world problems”.
The value, to me at least as well as the gentleman who posted immediately before you, is the ability to easily remove the prop to clear it of debris without the use of hand tools.

I had a Ghost, and it was noisier than I would like. I have been on others' boats and they were the same way - especially if you are hard on it. I think the problem is the design of the base and the...
So I was able to install the 2AWG and get out on the water for testing, and the results are that current and voltage (measured at the batteries via Ionic's bluetooth app) essentially stayed the same...
